Both show cooperation coevolving with environmental/network constraints. Feedback between strategic behavior and external state. Paper 1: reputation+resources. Paper 2: cooperation+epidemic. Similar structure.
Individual behaviors shape reputation through social norms while simultaneously affecting collective resource levels. Environmental changes alter payoff structures, creating feedback between strategic behavior and resource dynamics. Reputation-based cooperation interacts with ecological constraints - cooperative behaviors deplete or enhance shared resources, which then reshape the incentives for future cooperation.
view paper→Cooperation and disease transmission coevolve through network structure. Structural heterogeneity creates leverage points - highly connected hubs adopt protection due to amplified risk, catalyzing cooperation. Cost heterogeneity creates weakest links - low-risk individuals free-ride and act as disease reservoirs, undermining cooperation. Heterogeneity is double-edged: influence asymmetry facilitates cooperation, motivation asymmetry degrades it.
